European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned that Russia is becoming increasingly reckless after a drone attack on Leipzig Airport.
German authorities confirmed Russian involvement. In response, Germany has shut down Russia’s consulate in Bonn and the cultural Russian House in Berlin. Russia called these measures a serious mistake.
EU leaders pledged to tighten sanctions and apply massive economic pressure on Moscow while offering billions of euros to Ukraine for defence and anti‑ballistic missile projects.
Recent sabotage attacks on German power grids and factory fires linked to drone production have raised concerns about energy security. The EU and NATO are tightening measures as tensions between East and West continue to rise.
